Have you ever created an GAFE (Google Apps For Education) email that you would love to send at a later day/time and not immediately? I know that I have - this very email as a matter of fact! I am typing this on Sunday, while I have a few moments to work on my blog, and I don't want it to go out until Tuesday. This way I don't inundate you, my readers, with dozens of blogposts every day.
Great idea, you think, but can I do that?!!
Enter Google Chrome Extensions...
There are dozens of "little add-ons" that you can add to your Google Chrome Browser that lets you do all sorts of things! Over the next few months, I will highlight different ones, but for this week it will be Boomerang for gmail.
Boomerang allows the user to schedule emails to automatically send in the future, so you can write an email now, and the service will send it for whenever you indicate. It can even track to see if your email has been opened!
Here is a quick video explaining how to do it...
You like? OK... so install it!
Click this link to go to Boomerang. Add it to your Google Chrome. Shut down Chrome and re-open it. You are good to go!
As always, I solicit your comments on the blogsite.
